25K trail run 3 hr 46 min

Marathon 6:05:37.45


Short-Term Running Goals:

• Run a 25K trail run in 3 hr and 30 min or less 

• Improve my 5K race time, my goal is 20min

• Run a marathon under 5 hours.

• Increase my weekly mileage

• Run on the weekends

Ran two miles through the neighborhood. Was great to run again, was craving a run.  Took a week off after my 25K trail run. Had attempted to run Wednesday but pain in ankle became too much, only made it an half mile.  Today had no pain on my run, just a little stiff.

Ran a 60min tempo run on the treadmill. Stretched, lifted some weights, and stretched again. I love exercising.

Ran a mile as fast as I could. Once my pedometer hit a mile, I stopped to check my time, 13 min.  Really thought I had gone faster than that.  After that I biked on my indoor trainer while my brother's cat stood on the front tire and with her paws on the handle bars, was quite amusing.

After work I jogged on the treadmill for 30min, did 30 min on the elliptical and five min of weight lifting. After dinner I did a 8 min yoga workout for runners.  8 min felt like hours.  I can run for hours and it will feel like only about 30min has gone by.  Yoga is rough on my attention span and patience. But thinking I can survive 8 min mini yoga workouts throughout the week. Hoping it will make me more flexible and a faster runner.

Ran 8 miles through the neighborhood. It's cold outside! I couldn't feel my fingers. My mac app said I ran at 11% faster pace. Yeah!

After gulping down water, a pop tart, and chocolate milk. I did three of my mini 8 min yoga workouts.  24 min of yoga that's a record for me!  My cat, still a kitten, climbed on my leg when I was stretching my leg on a chair. When I was in downward dog pose she climbed on my back. When I was sitting she climbed up onto my shoulder. The silly cat made yoga fun and entertaining.
